New POST ROUTES IN ARKANSAS
The last mail brought to us the law passed as the late session of
Congress to establish certain post roads and to discontinue others. We
are highly gratified in observing that the following routes are to be
established in this Territory: ----
From the Post of Arkansas by Little Rock, Crystall Hill, Cadron and
Ellis's to Crawford Court House.
From Little Rock by Clark Court House, to Natchitoches
From Clark Court House by Hempstead Court House to Miller Court House.
The post route from Clark Court House by Hempstead Court House to the
Post of Washita is to be discontinued.

LOOK OUT FOR HORSE THIEVES
John Lloyd and Ansell McKinsey, who had been committed to the Jail of
Independence county, on a charge of horse stealing, effected their
escape on Tuesday night last, by boring through one of the logs in the
floor of the building. The fellows no doubt received assistance from
their friends out side of the jail. They belong to a gang of horse
thieves who have been infesting various parts of the Territory for a
long time; and one of them (McKinney) not long since, in company with
one or two others, was committed to the jail in Lawrence county from
whence they effected their escape. It is supposed they have gone to some
of the lower counties in this Territory, or perhaps to the neighborhood
of Washita, where they will doubtless resume their former business. It
therefore behooves every good citizen to be vigilant in bringing to
justice all such lawless pests to society; and we hope that none will
neglect any opportunity they may have of apprehending and delivering
them over the proper authorities, so that they may not escape punishment
they have so richly merited.

We saw it stated in some of the papers in the latter part of the
winter, that the troops stationed on Red River were very sickly, and
that many of the men had died. We have the authority of a gentleman who
left Natchitoches in March, to state that the troops were then in good
health.

100 DOLLARS REWARD
Whereas, Samuel McCall, late of Pulaski County, Arkansas Territory,
purchased an OSAGE GIRL, who was taken prisoner by the Cherokees in the
fall of 1821, and has carried her out of this Territory; and whereas it
is believed that the said McCall intends to make a SLAVE of said
prisoner, contrary to the laws and policy of the government of the
United States: Therefore ---
I, James Miller, Governor of the Territory of Arkansas, and ex-officio
Superintendent of Indian Affairs, do hereby offer a reward of
SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS, to any person who will rescue the said Osage
prisoner, and return her safe to me, or to any respectable citizen on
the Arkansas River, and give me information so that I may claim her. She
is about seven or eight years of age, remarkably fleshy, strait hair,
and not very black with her ears cut according to Indian custom.
A reward of TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS will be given for apprehending and
securing the said Samuel McCall in any jail in this Territory. He is
about thirty-five years of age, about five feet eight inches high, sandy
hair, large whiskers, fair complexion, and fond of talking.
It has been reported that the said McCall was seen with the prisoner on
the Mississippi River, near Stack Island and intended stopping in that
vicinity.

Notice
Orders having been received by me from the Department of War, to remove
all white settlers from the Cherokee lands lying between the Arkansas
and White Rivers, and north and west of Point Remove --- Therefore---
I, James Miller, Governor of the Territory of Arkansas, do hereby give
public notice, to all white persons residing on said Indian lands, that
they must remove therefrom on or before the fifteenth day of November
next, otherwise measures will be taken to remove them.
The Cherokees hating been ordered to remove from the United States land
south of the Arkansas River by the fifteenth of November, it becomes
necessary that the white people should remove from the Cherokee lands by
that time, in order to give them all and perfect possession of the same.

CASUALTIES
We regret to learn that Mr. Benjamin S. Hunt, of the firm of James
Hamilton & Co. Of Arkansas, was unfortunately drowned on Tuesday last,
in Bayou Meteau, about seven miles from the above place. There was no
person in company with him when this melancholy accident happened, but
it is supposed he was thrown from his horse in attempting to ford the
bayou, as his saddle bags were found in the edge of the water. Search
was made for him, and his body was discovered on Friday, lodged among
some brush wood, a short distance below the crossing place. Mr. Hunt was
a native of the city of New York, and came to this Territory in the
spring of 1821, with the intention of making it his permanent residence.
We also learn that an unfortunate accident occurred a few days since, on
board of a keel boat which was bound up this river, whilst passing thro
the cut-off between the Arkansas and White Rivers. A young man by the
name of Davis of Cape Girardeau County, Mo. Accidentally fell overboard,
and not being able to swim, one of the boatmen immediately plunged into
the water to his relief, when he was caught by the drowning man, and
they both sank into a watery grave. We have not been able to ascertain
the name of the heroic young man, who has thus unfortunately lost his
life in attempting to save that of a struggling fellow-creature.

Died ---- In this county, at his residence about 8 miles below this
place, on Friday morning last, Mr. Peter Lefeve, aged about 36 years.
About a week before his death, a small red spot made its appearance on
his right side, accompanied by some pain, which gradually became acute
and extended to his head. After two or three days, it assumed a blackish
appearance, when a mortification of the part took place, which resulted
in his death. He has left a wife and five children to mourn the loss of
a husband and father, and his friends to regret the loss of a good
neighbor and an honest man, for such was the character he sustained.

NOTICE
Taken up by Eli Bentley, living in Cadron township, Pulaski County,
Arkansas Territory, one small BAY HORSE, about fourteen hands high, six
or seven years old, no flesh marks except one or two saddle spots, and
branded thus W, near the shoulder.
The above horse was taken up through mistake by my son in my absence,
some time in the month of March last. I had lost a horse of the same
description some time previous, when on a visit to this country, and
left a description of him with my son, who took up the above horse,
supposing him to be the same, but on my return, I have found that he
does not belong to me.
Having taken up the above horse under these circumstances, and the time
having elapsed in which horse found running at large are required by law
to be posted, I have thought proper to take this method of notifying all
persons that a stray horse of the above description is in my possession.
The owner is requested to come forward, prove his property, pay charges,
and take him away.
